I've gone mad in the empty I've breathed in too much hope I've collected one big memory Bit it, chewed, and choked When something dies within me A slice of life maudlin I'll spit out my misery Bite, chew, choke again I'll keep this up forever It will be my effigy The loss that keeps me together Until it, too, is empty
